The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and six other stories - F.Scott Fitzgerald

Should you ever wake up and find yourself in a Scott Fitzgerald story, whatever you do don't get drunk. In these splendid stories, alcohol is a sure route to misery and despair. Not my experience of pissedness I must say, but anyway.

Beautifully written and often quirky (in a good way) this collection reminded me how good short stories can be in the hands of a master. I liked the stuff in New York, which reminded me of the sainted Damon Runyon, and Crazy Sunday offered an interesting depiction of Hollywood in the 1920s.
